Hi,

I heard some women talk to each other about this site on my way to work the other day and thought I would have a look for myself. They were saying how much being on here had helped them and it really made me think...

I've been trying to lose weight for a while now and things were going ok, up until about a month ago when I just lost interest in trying to lose weight. But I have now realised that I am more sick of being unhappy with my weight and that losing weight is my only option. So as of today I am starting again.

I would love to make some friend to support and motivate me and I promise to do the same. I am hoping this site can keep me going as my biggest issue is that I don't feel like I have any support. I really don't talk to ANYONE about trying to lose weight. I do mention the odd thing to my boyfriend who is really supportive! But I still only tell him little bits.

Recently I have noticed that my weight has more of an effect on me...I am 25 and am at university. Unlike most of my friends, I dread nights out. Mainly because I hate getting dressed up and that's because I really don't look the way I look.

Look forward to meeting new people :)

AllyS

    I downloaded the app on my ipod, but just kept my food diary to myself, and it didnt work out so well. So i decided that i'm going to get back on track and add some friends so that ill have more motivation. I dont talk to anyone about losing weight either, except one person (my best friend), which i am so happy for. I dread most nights out for the same reason as well, you're not alone!

    I really don't know an exact number but I'm aiming to lose about 25-30kgs as I get near my goal I'll reassess!
